You know, the idea of River being Amy and Rory's daughter, while initially disappointing, was actually by far the easiest part of the AGMGTW reveal for me to get used to. The only thing about it that continues to worry me is that it really raises the chances that Amy and Rory will never get to raise their own child and the stresses it will probably put on the relationship between them and the Doctor. When it provides fodder for HILARIOUS FIC, though, it makes me very happy. Of course, I've been writing them and thinking about them all with a family dynamic for a long, long time, albeit a slightly shuffled-around one. What episodes with River and the Ponds I've gone back and watched again since AGMGTW, I've actually been surprised how little the reveal changes my perceptions of what's going on because they all felt like family already to me and that was the important bit. The stuff from the reveal that really threw me and I'm finding it harder to accept and adjust to is all to do with Doctor/River and with River having a timehead (*cringe* sorry!).

Essentially, how does Rory deal with the memory of River pseudo-kissing him in Timely Favours after he finds out she's his daughter at Demon's Run. I imagine he'd call her out on it. Maybe when under stress like in the middle of an adventure. Because he doesn't seem good at repressing things.
=D omg, TOO TRUE! He gets all "we have to talk about our feelings now!" at just the worst times! This sounds great. Would read.

It's possible that I could be related to someone I'm talking to and have NO IDEA. Thanks for slightly creeping me out, Promethia. ;)
It's what I'm here for ; )

Of course, I doubt that'd just much of my behavior. I can't tell whether that's saying something good about me or bad... Oh well.
Funny, that's exactly what I was thinking about Amy. She may think she's learned her lesson, but soon enough she's going to be right back flirting with strangers again. It's just who she is.
